Beach & Reef Clean up Day

Original Event

We began the day with an orientation and a small lecture regarding reef ecology, marine debris and shark finning.

The beach clean up followed with great success. Manage to collect around 10 kg of rubbish in only a short hour.

After a well deserved lunch break we headed out into the ocean to clean our local dive site 'Sairee reef'. With a shallow dive for over an hour we collected over 10 kg off assorted debris spread out over an area of 100 meters squared.

We wrapped out the day with an amazing lecture delivered by a enthusiastic marine biologist on the cycle of life of turtles. Very animated, informative and great lecture.
